Understanding Dreams is an exciting and remarkable
book. It avoids the formulaic and dictionary-like approach of most
dream books which are so misleading, and even destructive. The process
presented by Dr. Siivola provides an approach to understanding dreams that is
distinctly useful to individuals, or informal groups. It respects the
poetry of dream language while empowering the individual dreamer to
understand. The group process he offers is structured enough to be safe
for participants, but with enough exploratory freedom to allow the dream
to unfold. Ordinarily I avoid dream-books and encourage others to do
the same, but I am pleased to have this one brought to my
attention. The approach he presents is similar to the one I
use, but I had not organized it into usefulness to others as he
has.
